What's the difference between graded and raw 1974 1974 West Virginia Mountaineers Playing Cards (Gold backs) #6♥?

Graded copies of the 1974 1974 West Virginia Mountaineers Playing Cards (Gold backs) #6♥ are sealed in PSA, SGC, or BGS holders with an assigned condition grade on a 1–10 scale; raw copies are ungraded and the buyer assesses condition directly. Graded copies typically command a premium because the holder authenticates and grades the card in one step — but for raw cards, the upside is condition-judgment that beats the grader's eye.

Reprints exist for nearly every popular pre-1980 baseball card (including the 1974 1974 West Virginia Mountaineers Playing Cards (Gold backs) Mike Hubbard). Originals show period-appropriate cardstock thickness, an offset-printing dot pattern visible under a 10× loupe, and back-design fidelity matching the era's printing process.
